A Program of the 
Alumni Photo Contest
There's still time to participate in the 2024 Alumni Photo Contest! We invite alumni of this summer’s program to share their most memorable moments, with winning photos set to be featured in a limited-edition run of CLS postcards and on social media. Now through Sunday, December 8 at 11:59 PM EST, we’re calling for submissions that showcase your unique experiences abroad.
Whether it’s a breathtaking landscape, a moment with new friends, or a snapshot of daily life that captures your language immersion journey, your photos help tell the story of CLS. Each submission should include a thoughtful caption (up to 1,000 characters) that connects your photo to a contest category. Alumni may submit one entry per category.
A selection panel from the CLS Program at American Councils for International Education and the U.S. Department of State will review entries. Judging will be based on visual impact, composition, technical quality, and the depth of your captions. Winning and honorable mention photos will be shared across CLS social media platforms, with winners appearing on a special run of CLS postcards as well.
How to Submit:
- Deadline: Sunday, December 8 at 11:59 PM EST
- Format: High-quality JPEG, no larger than 20MB
- Limit: One photo per category
Selected photos will be celebrated in CLS materials, giving you a platform to share the experiences that define your journey. Don't miss the chance to leave a lasting mark on the CLS community!
